HideNtweet Lets You Play Hide and Seek via iPhone
(Updated 7/15/09)
If you have friends with iPhones, have some spare time and would enjoy the opportunity to beta test a new iPhone app, here is a great chance for you to do so. The new app going through beta testing right now is called hideNtweet and is looking for willing and able iPhone 3G users to participate.
As the name implies, this particular app will use Twitter accounts to help you communicate with the other participants. For the sake of privacy and competition, however, little additional information is provided. All that is known publicly at this point is that it’s a game of Hide and Seek that utilizes your iPhone’s camera, GPS, and Twitter. To touch home or tag others, take a picture of them with your camera.
Designed and developed by Dove Valley Apps, hideNtweet aims to add a social aspect to iPhone gaming that few other apps attempt to do yet. We don’t have any screenshots yet, but visit hideNtweet’s website to apply for the beta. The site will explain in detail exactly what you’ll need to send in your application to have a good chance at being chosen.
UPDATE: HideNTweet is now available for free at the App Store. You can also download it via iTunes below.
brad,
i’ll tell you, i was playing an alpha copy of this today and i have to say it was very very fun, but then i’m one of the developers of this, so maybe i’m biased.
i can tell your readers this: there are 4 ghost players that will sub in if you don’t have enough ppl for a good game (so you can play solo if you want). they all have twitter accounts and will tweet about the games they play in. their tweets are protected right now, but we’ll be opening them up soon. their names are:
pleat
vetch
calaboose
scuffle
if your readers request follow the ghosts, then tweet something like:
i’m following @vetch from @hideNtweet because @phonewisdom told me about it
the ghost will approve the follow request.
thx for this article,
john
